Unless you’ve been living under a ROCK, you undoubtedly know what blogs are and if you don't, a blog is: A website with regular entries of content. That content could be ANYTHING - commentary, rants, raves, descriptions of events, etc. And it can include graphics, video and audio.
Why are blogs so IMPORTANT? They allow people to communicate, to say anything, anytime, anywhere, across the country and across the world. We as human beings LOVE to express ourselves in so many different ways and a blog is yet another way for us to communicate via the internet.
So why are blogs important to your business? Because they allow you to communicate with your audience. You're in business to provide a product or service to your customer, right? People need to know about you and your product. The ongoing RELATIONSHIP with your business partners, your downline, and your customers are essential.
A blog allows the home business owner or network marketer to constantly let their audience know what they’re doing. Here are some of the other things you as a business owner can do with your Blog:
Run a contest
Launch a new product
Run a training course
Take a poll
Have your users subscribe to a newsletter
Sell a product or service
The most popular blogs that folks use are Wordpress and Blogger which is owned by Google. You can either host your own blog, in which case you have to purchase hosting space from a web hosting provider, or you can let Wordpress or Blogger host your blog for you.
To create, manage, and add content to your blog might seem daunting at first, but Wordpress and Blogger are super easy to learn. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be a blogging pro in no time.
One last thing - search engines just love blogs! Why? Because if you provide your blog with content on a frequent basis, and your topics are on focus, Google will eventually pick up your blog content and index it which means it will be searchable on Google.
So, jump in, give it a try, and have fun.
Happy Blogging!

Network Marketing – A Relationship Business
Network marketing is all about building relationships with other people. Just like it is in everyday life, and you have to treat it as such. Network marketing is not about being “that car salesman”. With that type of mentality you will not get far and will probably fail.
Relationships are about being honest and trustworthy. When you put the relationship first, customers and clients will forgive your mistakes and work with you.
Relationships are about giving unconditionally. A prospect that receives personal attention is more likely to do business with you than your competitor. My business inspires hope, dignity & pride within me, and I especially love sharing those dynamics with others, as they see "the light come on" for themselves, as they find the same value and benefit.
As each person in your downline is busy building their business, they are also building yours as well. That's the power of leverage. Good customers often, by word of mouth, promote businesses in ways unimaginable. Viral marketing is one of the most powerful sales tools available. If you make it a point to put integrity first, that will resonate with your customers and they will think of you as a representative of a trustworthy company.
Unfortunately, I think we sometimes get swept away by all that "hype and close" and forget to apply our own personal beliefs to our business. The definition of a relationship is a connection or involvement. These connections cannot and do not happen when your whole goal is to make a sale. “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get others interested in you.” Dale Carnegie
Relationships do not happen solely through good intentions. They start with the act to connect. And it starts with a single encounter – your next one.
I am taking part in a marketing experiment that started with 25 ordinary people working towards one common goal. The friendships that we have made will live beyond this program as we got to know each other along the way. Come join us and watch our journey at www.180daystogreatness.com
